Chapelle d’Ausone 2018 – Saint-Emilion Grand Cru

The nose is fruity, elegant and offers a small richness, freshness, a beautiful definition as well as a beautiful precision. It reveals notes of fleshy strawberry, fleshy/juicy Boysen berry, small notes of pulpy cassis associated with fine touches of violet, juicy/fresh plum as well as hints of racy minerality, camphor, fine hints of caramelization, nutmeg and toasted. The palate is fresh, mineral, well-balanced and offers a beautiful definition, juiciness, freshness, gourmandize as well as a certain generosity, suavity and a beautiful acidulous frame. On the palate this wine expresses notes of fleshy strawberry, crushed blueberry, small notes of fresh flowers (cornflower, violet) associated with touches of crushed red berries as well as small hints of sugared mild tobacco, toasted, a subtle hint of vanilla and fresh hazelnut. Good length. Tannins are finely chewy. A discreet saline hint and chocolate on the finish/persistence.
